Iny closed the door of his house immediately, to prevent both stranger creatures from entering. Lyra had been the first to enter, immediately running as fast she could to a safe place.
Iny stood there for a while, to make sure that Aisi or whatever the other guy's name was wouldn´t try to break the fragile wooden door. To make sure they would stay outside, he quickly grabbed a couple of obsidian blocks from the chest in the room and put them in front of the door.
The rest of the day went by at an incredible speed. Nothing great happened but the occasional intromissions of Aisi, who insisted in looking through the window. Iny just cleaned some things and patrolled the house. He didn´t want this day to end. He didn´t want to get away from his usual routine, which he so much needed and, above all, he didn´t want to leave the Far Lands with Lyra.
Soon, it was nighttime. This was the time he would usually return home and tell Lyra a story for her to sleep. And so he decided to do. Lyra hadn´t gotten out of her room the whole day, out of fear of something Iny didn´t quite get but that had nothing to do with the two creatures outside, so Iny thought that this would help calming not only her, but them both.
He entered the room and was met by his sister walking in circles, thinking about what she would do tomorrow and whatever other little thoughts she had about the events of the day. At times, she would look at the chest and take out a few things before putting them back in. She was trying to organize her things... The scared expression she usually had never touched Iny so deeply. The naïve, trusting creature that his sister was, the way she could do anything for anyone despite her extreme fear…In some aspects, he thought, she could be even braver than him…
"Lyra, sleep. You need to. Leave this to me; I will prepare things for us to go…"
"Br-brother?…"
"Please."
She went silent and sat down in her bed. Once he said something, there wasn´t such thing as "Disobeying." Lyra watched as he picked a few things from her chest with his mouth, quickly dropping them to make them go to his inventory. She had always been fascinated by the way he could make everything look so simple and easy…Somewhere inside of her, she knew that having gone to the reunion had been something quite stupid and that now she was in danger because of her own foolish acts, and yet, Iny was there, calmly packing things in order to save time. If she found the Void Child she had to, everything would be fine, although she didn´t know exactly why it would, but if she didn´t, then it was death.
"Iny…C-can you…tell me a b-beautiful tal-tale? Something with…a happy end?"
He stood still for a second, before turning around, with a sigh. She laid down, looking at him with some kind of expectation. The younger creeper sat by the side of the bed.
"Well...I will tell you the tale of the Dream Finder, then, right?" He asked. The hybrid nodded and he started to tell the weird tale about the half mob without will that found himself trying to run away from his fate, but always failing until he started to cry and Herobrine conceded him his greatest wish and he became a ghast, unable to die, forever forgiving those who found a terrible fate and giving them new life.
When Iny saw that Lyra was already asleep, he left the room and started to pack the rest of the things, always keeping an eye in the big purple eyes that appeared at the window once in a while.
Ouououououououououououououoo uouououuou
"Aisi, could you please stop trying to spy on them? For Notch´s sake, they have to sleep…"
"Sssso k sayssss the one that k is alwayss where he wassssn´t called k …"
"You are unsupportable…"
Drowned laid in the ground, looking at the starts while his other face randomly chewed on some grass. He didn´t approve of the insistence of Aisi to watch the albino creeper, as it was both impolite and dangerous. Yes, dangerous. Iny was such that he could kill a zombie easily, with two arrows.
To the All´s Mob, there wasn´t anything funnier than watching them, waiting for them to go to sleep… He didn´t need anything from them, but the sensation of being in power while watching was just amazing.
Drowned didn´t know too much about Aisi other than he was older and stonger than him, but recently, he had got to know some details of his unique, glitch personality and, be sure, was deeply annoyed by him. Aisi had shown himself to be a power love creature that was usually polite towards weak creatures but that could be extremely aggressive towards anyone who defied him. Since Aisi was very cordial towards Drowned, one could imagine how insulting this was.
Being an All´s Mob, Aisi had clear tendencies to hurt other mobs if he felt like he needed something from them or that they had "stolen" something from him. Due to this, almost everyone among the apprentices had seem to be against his inclusion in the beginning and only accepted him when Catherine herself scolded everyone, telling them to be careful about him, because if he caused any deaths…he would be kept and gain privileges. Since then, everyone was extremely cautious and obeyed him when possible.
Also, Drowned had been told that the only ones who seemed to have some control over him were Catherine and Molter, a very old, glitched blaze with a deep knowledge about many things. Also, the sight of a Living fortress or a Ghost, the lonely creatures over who he didn´t have any control, scared him.
To put it short, Aisi was a threat and Drowned knew that. He could attack Iny at any moment and it was probable that his sister would at least try to defend him and, if he wasn´t controlled in time, he could kill her, resulting in automatic mission failure with terrible consequences… Drowned´s only hope was in Aisi´s sense of self preservation.
Slowly, as the moon moved upwards, Drowned felt more and more sleepy….He allowed himself to close his eyes, despite the terrible look that Aisi was now sending him. Yeah…many had told him that Aisi loved to watch people fall asleep but right now, the enderman couldn´t care less. He fell asleep, thinking of what he could do to prevent accidents with the dangerous partner he now had…

Lyra quickly got out of her bed once she was awake. The sudden bolt of energy she felt everytime she woke up was there. Her first instinct was to run towards the door as if it was a normal day.
Once she got to the door thought, she stopped, the memories of the last day returning to her mind. A normal mob would probably have doubts of wether it was a dream or not, but not Lyra. She believed everything.
The hybrid walked towards the living room with quiet steps, just to find Iny asleep in the ground, snoring. She smiled, he had probably finished packing things and ended up asleep while watching the two mobs outside…
Lyra got next to her brother and started to claw it´s face, hissing as loud as she could. This always worked to freak him out and make he wake up. As expected, he jumped almost immediately and stood in the same position he would to shoot someone.
Lyra backed away a few steps, letting Iny understand what was happening. Even being her brother, he was dangerous when surprised.
It took several ticks, but Iny finally recognized the ambient.
"Lyra? For the love of Notch, you scared me! I thought someone was trying to blow me up or something!"
"Sorry… You were asleep…w-we need to go."
Iny sighed, of course, they had to go now…He didn´t want to, thought. Unlike his obedient and calm sister, he hated routine changes, it just felt…wrong.
"Take the stuff in the chest. I will call those two…creatures."
Lyra nodded and ran for the chest, taking stuff out awkwardly, almost breaking some.
Iny took out a diamond pickaxe almost on its end and broke the obsidian blocks away from the door, as he expected, the door had been broken down. One should never trust an All´s Mob. Ever.
He looked around the house just to find the endercreeper looking at him with an amused look and the other creature was sat, staring at the sun, apparently just having woken up.
"Good k morning, misssster Iny k! Ready to go k? " Iny did not reply. "Oh,k and you need not to worry about our thingssss, I k have already gotten a way around thosssse. Kkeep your resourcessss to you k and your sissster."
"I didn´t even think about what you need." Was Iny´s short, harsh reply. Aisi didn´t seem to mind it, thought.
At this point, Lyra came in, walking slower than usual due to her full inventory.
"Brother, I am done!"
Everyone looked at her, even the sleepy Drowned. That was it, there was no time left and trying to delay things would only be worse. Everything seemed tenser, with Drowned even waking up fully. The general spirit could be resumed as: If things are going to be this way, then we better stop fights that will one make we lose time.
Only Lyra herself was oblivious to this. Lost in space, just doing what she was told, there was no way someone like her could see how things really were…
"Dr-drowned? You said you would show us your portal."
"Oh, yes. Follow me, it is somewhat far away, thought…"
No one replied. Drowned started to walk to the place he knew the half broken Nether Portal was. All went behind him, with Lyra being the last, slower than everyone.
"Notch…Please, don´t let this fail. If Lyra dies, is the end for me… "
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Vincent stared at the door. He just couldn´t open it, no matter how badly he wanted to. No matter what…
"We go now?" The little voice asked. He wanted so much to say yes…but he didn´t know. The last time they had met, just before his escape…the image of those big black eyes full of tears, looking like they were pointing to a wall when they really weren´t was just… heartbreaking… What if he failed again? What if it wasn´t enough? What if someone got along to make it all go wrong?
"Miss you…In?" He did not expect this phrase. It was now or never… He clicked the right button and entered the castle.
A ghast, smaller than usual, tapping its tentacles in a complex pattern, as if to play a keyboard with the ground. It was a child, even after all these years…it was the same…Oh Notch, his eyes, his eyes…Pointing to a side, wanting to look, but too scared to do so. Looking at them was like to stand at the border of The Void, being greeted only by a warm emptiness…
"Greys…Hello. I am…sorry I left you" He typed in the chat. His real-life-self cried and cried nonstop. He had promised him so much! He had failed him…him and many others… He couldn´t even type correctly what he really wanted to say, to say he was sorry a hundred times, to tell him that he would never try to forget it again, to say that he would do anything to correct everything…to make things right…
"Okay. Now we go?" He didn´t seem to be hurt. Any person would say he was cruel by speaking like this, so clearly, but Greys wasn´t…this meant he had forgiven Vincent long, long ago…
Greys had been a ghast Vincent had met long ago…he was a Living Fortress, the lonely, aware of the presence of others, variation of the Ghosts. Despite everything, they had become good friends and when the possibility arrived, Vincent had told him his plans to flee from Minecraftia, following the whispering creatures that told him to. Greys had become happy with this and asked if he could go too. Of course, Vincent had promised that he would go with him…but…His plan failed. None of his friends, which he had promised the same thing, could follow him as he fell indefinitely through The Void until he hit the Great Barrier between the worlds and crossed it. To this day, Vincent regretted this immensely and tried to best to forget it.
But now he had a possibility to make his promises true. He just had to go back. Go back…back…BACK.
"We go now, Greys. We go." He whispered to the creature on the screen. He could swear that Greys had smiled a little. He quickly wrote a note to the lady who cleaned his house about him going on vacations and ran to the bathroom.
He filled the sink with water. This was the way in. The same path Herobrine himself had taken. He submersed his head completely. Years of having to force himself to die and respawn in order to get back home had destroyed his survival instinct. One minute, five minutes, ten minutes…
"Player EmptyJudge0070 drowned"
You died!
